 - Date parser functions :func:`~pandas.io.date_converters.parse_date_time`, :func:`~pandas.io.date_converters.parse_date_fields`, :func:`~pandas.io.date_converters.parse_all_fields` and :func:`~pandas.io.date_converters.generic_parser` from ``pandas.io.date_converters`` are deprecated and will be removed in a future version; use :func:`to_datetime` instead (:issue:`35741`)
